According to Milley, the melee began about 4 p.m. Lopez first walked into a unit building and opened fire. The 34-year-old Iraq veteran then left, got into a vehicle and continued firing the .45-caliber Smith & Wesson semiautomatic that he had purchased off-base, Milley said.
Lopez exited the vehicle and walked into a second building, opening fire again, Milley said. It was there he "was engaged by local law enforcement here at Fort Hood."
The MP arrived in the parking lot about four minutes after the first 911 call, and she began to look for the suspect with other law enforcement officers. A short time later, she saw the suspect.
"He was approaching her at about 20 feet. He put his hands up, then reached under his jacket, pulled out the (semiautomatic) and she pulled out her weapon," the lieutenant general said.
"She engaged, and then he put the weapon to his head and he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Milley said.
Phillip Carter, a former MP captain on the post, said he believes she was a junior enlisted soldier who was patrolling by herself. He credited her for facing the threat.
"Most police officers probably would have stepped back and waited for backup, but she stepped forward," he said.
A couple of excerpts:
Thomas Jefferson was a smart dude. And in one of his letters to John Adams, dated June 27, 1813, Jefferson made an observation about the nature of politics that science is only now, two centuries later, beginning to confirm. "The same political parties which now agitate the United States, have existed through all time," wrote Jefferson. "The terms of Whig and Tory belong to natural, as well as to civil history," he later added. "They denote the temper and constitution of mind of different individuals."
The results of Hibbing's study were clear: The conservatives tended to focus their eyes much more rapidly on the negative or aversive images, and also to dwell on them for a lot longer. The authors therefore concluded that based on results like these, "those on the political right and those on the political left may simply experience the world differently." Like an ostrich and a lion experience the world differently. And react to the world differently, too. Maybe it's due to liberals having an underdeveloped amygdala?

That's right, keep your eyes on the watch as it goes back and forth, back and forth....you are getting sleepy, very sleepy, in a moment you will be in a deep sleep, very restful sleep but you will continue to hear my voice.
In a moment, I will give you a suggestion which will change your life for the better... you will in the next election, and every election hereafter, vote for the candidate and political party which the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times says will loose the election.
You will enjoy rooting for the underdog, and even more enjoy seeing them win the elections.
At the count of three, you will awaken refreshed, and you will be filled with a new sense of joy at your new mission in life... One...Twooo...
There's a pro-forma premature mourning for the coming global warming catastrophe, but Mr. Friedman of the New York Times ends beautifully with
“Whenever you board this submarine in port, that American flag is flying and you salute that flag,” said junior officer Jeremy Ball, 27. “And every time I salute that flag, I remember the reason I joined the Navy: service to country, being part of something bigger than myself and in memory for the attacks of 9/11.”
Remind me again what weÂ’re doing in Washington these days to deserve such young people?
[NEWS.AU] NOAH'S Ark would have floated -- even with two of every animal on board, physicists have determined based on the weight of the beasts and the buoyancy of the boat. How about Utu Napishtim's ark? Has anybody thought to ask him? They say he's still living in Dubai. I think he has an apartment in a senior building, since he's 5600 years old by now.
The students from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester who came to this conclusion used the dimensions for the boat that were given in the Bible. Why not go to the source? Maybe Utu can't remember that far back, huh?
In the book of Genesis, Noah is commanded to build an ark which is 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high to house himself, his family and two of every species of animal. And just who shoveled that sucker out?
That one breeding pair of dung beetles were fruitful and multiplied, solving the problem the old fashioned way.
For the study, the students settled on a cubit being 48.2cm long and found the ark could support the weight of 2.5 million sheep. The university said that previous research suggested there were approximately 35,000 species of animals in Noah's time. We all know some of the species that wouldn't fit: unicorns, the old-fashioned kind of salamander, chimerae, that sort of thing. And triceratops; they didn't make it, did they?
The students said it was not clear if all the animals would actually be able to fit on board. But if they did, the boat would still float.

In my experience physicists have a very fuzzy view of Biology. Vide the fact that every other year an important physicist publishes a book therein it "demolishes" the Theory of Evolution---the idea of variation followed by selection just doesn't seem to penetrate their rote-memorization shaped little minds.

The definition of a species (procreation of a viable offspring) was a bit different back then. Little variations in bone or coloring didn't make a new species definition till very recently.
Only that part of the dung that hasn't been turned into beetle or the energy for scurrying around, Snusort Spomose2148. So naturally there's considerably less physical output than there was physical input.
One of the three soldiers killed in the shooting rampage at Fort Hood died while trying to hold a door shut that would have led the gunman to a room packed with military personnel, his fiancee says.
Sgt. First Class Danny Ferguson, a native of Mulberry, Fla., who had just returned from Afghanistan, died while trying to keep the shooter out of the room, SP4 Kristen Haley, also a soldier, tells WTSP-TV.
"He held that door shut because it wouldn't lock," Haley, who was nearby when the shooting broke out, tells 10 News, the Tampa TV station. "It seems the doors would be bullet proof, but apparently they're not, If he wasn't the one standing there holding those doors closed, that shooter would have been able to get through and shoot everyone else."

Did you know a creation myth is official US law? NAGPRA -- North American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act -- mandates that Native tribes' beliefs that they've "always been here" are true, and that all archaeological study be conducted in light of that "fact". If you find something contrary to that, the tribes can seize it and "honor their ancestors" by burying it.
The international laws are just as bad. People in Italy have been imprisoned for having Roman pillars in their homes -- pillars they unearthed on their own property! And it's not like Italy isn't swimming in Roman artifacts...
The end result will be all the world's artifacts locked away in vaults where only the credentialed and connected can ever see them, and where a few disasters could wipe out our heritage.

Most telling is the expert stating the artifacts were well-kept. The archaeological world keeps over-paying for "new" "research" into "gender roles", but can't hire a half dozen strong backs to clear the drainage ditches at Pompeii.

You must never dig under the Clovis layer.
I have run afoul of this shit when I was young. Yes, lol, laugh if you will be my original degree was in Anthropology. Bottom line. If I find it belongs to the tribes or the state if I get caught. This does not apply to any professors collections of course, that's different. Yo know that still makes me damn mad. I got caught twice, both times by State Forestry they ran me off and took my stuff. I will guarantee it is in their possession or their estates possession still. Damn, Ethel, where's muh pill?
I am agitate!

This 91 year old had been collecting artifacts for 8 decades. He must have started as a kid of 10-11.
I can remember that as a kid (8 or 9), I had a friend who lived on a farm in northern Ohio. On that farm were Indian burial mounds. My friend and his family had a house full of artifacts. This would have been in the late 1940s or 1950s. Such collecting was a hobby--considered innocent at the time. I never knew of any native Americans in that area although there were at one time; Wyandot and Shawnee. They may have integrated into the larger society or moved on to another area. At the time I don't think the Feds concerned themselves with such things as artifacts. In fact, the federal government was much, much smaller (and much more manageable). They didn't intrude on citizens lives nearly so much as they do today. With the perspective of time and old age, I can say we have lost considerable freedom since that time era. Sometimes, the good old days really were the good old days.

Regardless of the age of the offender, there is no statute of limitation regarding the desecration of Ohio Native American burial sites. What you have described is a clear violation of Federal Statutes. I suggest you turn yourself in to the Cleveland Indians at your earliest opportunity.
[An Nahar] Crimea on Thursday said it was opposed to an autonomous territory for the Tatars, an ethnic minority that was against the Black Sea peninsula's recent annexation by Russia.
Autonomy for me but not for thee...
"No, that is not possible, there can only be a cultural autonomy," Crimean deputy prime minister Roustam Temirgaliev told the Russian news agency Ria Novosti.
Representatives of the Tatar community throughout Crimea held an emergency Qurultai, or congress, last week and decided to seek increased autonomy in a move widely seen as a challenge to the Kremlin.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - U.S. policymakers need to calm down, maybe do some yoga and accept that Crimea is now part of Russia, a senior Russian diplomat said on Thursday in unusually caustic remarks directed at Moscow's former Cold War-era adversary.
Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region last month has deepened the worst East-West crisis since the Cold War ended two decades ago. The West has imposed sanctions on officials and businessmen believed to be close to President Vladimir Putin.
Many of those blacklisted have mocked the sanctions, wearing them as a badge of honor, but they have also rankled Moscow, with officials warning the West was only doing damage to itself.
"What can one advise our U.S. colleagues to do? Spend more time in the open, practice yoga, stick to food-combining diets, maybe watch some comedy sketch shows on TV," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Interfax news agency. Hey Sergei, go fok yourself !
"This would be better than winding oneself up and winding up others, knowing that the ship has already sailed ... Tantrums, weeping and hysteria won't help." Funny those old Russians. They weren't so cheeky when Adolf was pushing Operation Barbarossa up their arses and we 'Lend Leased' them the modern day equivalent of $150b USD in cash and war materials.

[ONLINE.WSJ] Two weeks after banning Twitter Inc. TWTR -4.75% ahead of crucial local elections, Turkey on Thursday lifted its block on the micro-blogging site after the country's top court ruled the ban was unconstitutional.
Turkey's Telecommunications Board, or TIB, announced on its website in late afternoon that the ban would be lifted. The restoration occurred in increments across the country, one of Twitter's top 10 markets with over 12 million users, with many people still employing technical workarounds to access the site late into the evening.

[DAWN] A recent survey conducted by Pew Research has stirred the dreaded old debate on whether internet users in Pakistain care much about internet censorship. The result from the survey reportedly reveals that people surveyed in Pakistain were least supportive of an open internet.
The media reporting of the survey has largely focused on how "Paks do not care about internet rights" just as they don't care about democracy or human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... . Coverage on the report will have you believe we are the next China as far as internet freedom is concerned.

[Ynet] A religious law court of appeals in Amman recently raised public furor in Jordan after ruling that woman not donning a veil will not be allowed to give testimony in court.
The story started when a couple sued each other in a lower court over a personal dispute. After hearing the judge's ruling, a local attorney decided to appeal the case to a higher court, and claimed that the woman's testimony was inadmissible because her hair was exposed and her face was uncovered. Sadly, the court agreed.
In explaining its call, the court said that the issue is regulated by Islamic law, where it is determined, by one school of thought, that the exposed hair of a woman undermines the level of justice she possesses. Meanwhile, ...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin... media outlets, internet users, legal experts, human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... activists and women's rights organizations protested what called a gross violation of women's rights, personal freedom and the principle of equality.
Chairman of Jordanian Women's Union, Amna Al-Zoabi, told the official Jordanian news agency Petra that "the decision shocked us, and set a legal precedent that has unprecedented consequences and denigrates the competence of women who do not wear veils, and thus harms the women's status."
Zoabi further expressed her resentment over the fact that the court did not rely on the Jordanian constitution but rather on a religious ruling, and called on the court to retract its decision.
A source within the religious law court system told Petra that the Jordanian law allows the court to rule according to the four Islamic schools of thought. He admitted that not wearing a veil does not refute the woman's testimony in court, but explained that the court turned the lower court's decision in order to prevent the married couple's separation.
The requirement that women to appear in court in modest clothing is not limited to religious courts of appeals. Arab media published a story a few days ago in which a female Jordanian judge did not allow a female attorney to take part in a hearing because she was wearing denim jeans. The justice said that the lawyer should maintain appropriate garb in the courthouse.
Rejecting what they decried as religious coercion, the Jordanian Women's Union launched a national campaign against what it defined as "radical legal trends."
According to the Jordanian women, female lawyers in the kingdom fear that the public's silence in cases of women's rights violation, such as in the cases mentioned, would lead to female lawyers not being able to appear in court without a veil. The Jordanian lawyers association has not responded to the ruling on the matter of the attorney that wore jeans.
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] According to Good Morning America's Linzie Janis, a CEO who made a donation in opposition to gay marriage is the same as the hateful members of Westboro Baptist. On Friday, Janis reported on Brendan Eich, the former head of the tech company Mozilla. Eich was ousted after liberal groups found out that in 2008 he made a $1000 donation to support Proposition 8 in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. Not that it's any of my business what you do, but I think if you're using Firefox you should immediately drop it in favor of Chrome or Opera or Safari or even IE.
As Janis spoke about the six-year-old donation, video footage of Westboro Baptist protesters with "God hates fags" and "soldiers die 4 fag marriage" signs appeared on-screen.
On the December 07, 2012 World News, ABC news hound Terry Moran used the same hateful Westboro Baptist footage for a story on the Supreme Court ruling over gay marriage.
Eich was the CEO of Mozilla, which produces the web browser Firefox. Earlier this week, the dating website OKCupid launched a boycott, something Janis touted as a "game changer."
Janis offered no voices opposing to what occured, instead she featured business writer Jillian D'onfro to tout, "So for [OKCupid] to take that stand and say, 'hey, we don't want you using Firefox,' that was big and that got a lot of attention."
Offering no hint of criticism, she marveled, "..It's remarkable how one company's online popularity here, essentially, gave it the clout to force out another company's CEO."
